Description
The Roebuck Public House is an early 18th-century building located on Hockliffe Street in Leighton Buzzard. It features a Flemish bond brickwork with red stretchers and grey headers. The building has a steeply pitched old tiled gabled roof, complete with a cornice and a hipped casement dormer. It stands two storeys high with attics and includes a first-floor band.
On the north elevation, there are four windows: two sash windows, one wood transom and mullion casement, all with glazing bars, and one dummy window. The ground floor has been altered and previously featured a door surround with fluted Doric pilasters and an entablature with a pulvinated frieze. The west elevation includes a ground floor bay window, two first-floor sash windows set in wide flush frames under segmental arches, and an attic two-light casement window in the gable end.
